WHAT: Loren Kahn Puppet & Object Theatre: It’s Time (Especially for Kids Ages 1-3)! WHEN: Saturday, May 8, TWO SHOWS: 10am & 3pm WHERE: Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale SE PRESENTED BY: Outpost Performance Space, a non profit organization TICKET INFORMATION: FREE for Kids ages 1-3. (Maximum of thirty 1-3 year olds.) $5 for Kids 4 yrs and up. $10 Adults. $20 max per family. Available in advance, by phone or in person, at the Outpost Performance Space (268-0044).
Using puppets and/or object theatre, a bridge between theatre, visual art and puppetry, Loren Kahn Puppet and Object Theater brings to life a hilarious and magical world, which delights tiny children and provokes reflection in teenagers and grownups. It’s Time”is a show based on simplicity and quietness. This short fantasy is about imagination and association of ideas. The scenes are like visual haiku, for that age when each moment is a discovery and magic is in the emotions. The goal was to create a show so quiet that you could hear the babies’ reactions. It is 30 minutes of drifting on the stream of thoughts, both before and beyond language. It’s Time is the American cousin of Qui dit gris, a French show created by Therese Angebault and Isabelle Kessler. Object Theater Creator and Director Isabelle Kessler is a talented veteran of European and American theater. She exercises her creative talent with everything from classic stage productions to toddler-friendly romps, to grand street theater involving 15 brides and 22 movie projectors. Loren Kahn started out as an anthropologist, but departed academe in 1973 to travel through the western US, working as a street puppeteer. She never looked back.

On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers the same sort of workshop between 9 a.m. and noon. (It only lasts that long if there's enough interest.)
These are free programs and great for both genders. Free aprons and eye protection are usually included and available for take-home. Certificates are personalized and offered at the end for successful completion of the project. Lowe's gives a patch and a sticker. Home Depot gives a pin for clothing. These are fun to collect and/or scrapbook. Take your camera . . . it's a hoot! Take advantage of it!
On the second Saturday of each month, Lowe's hosts a building workshop for children, free of charge. I believe it starts at 10 a.m. and lasts one-hour.

They get a photo and a certificate afterward, and there's plenty of info online: http://www.eaa179.com.
